Very cool reflections, Sandy.  I'm sorry I missed seeing this one-I must have been wandering off somewhere at the time.I like that log perch better than any of the ones I wound up with for this species.  Nice work on the exposure and a very good head turn.

The lighting here is really nice. Great job controlling darks and lights. You're right about the great reflections too.
